8. Create a new directory and Initialize as Git Local Repository.
9. Push Commits to Central Repository.
10. Verify files in Central Repository.
11. Add Content to an existing file.
12. Adding file to Staging Area.

Step 1 :

Create a GitHub Account

Check below link to create GitHub Account.

Create a new GitHub Account

Step 2 :

Create an Central Repository in GitHub Account

Logging to GitHub Account

Provide username and password and click on Sign in.

.git is the local repository.
By default,it will be hidden.(shouldn’t deleted)
Commits will be store in local repository (.git)

Step 4 :

Create a new file and put some content 

To see the status of git

Note
we have seen the untraced file(newfile) i.e,is in red colour.
wherever you create/modify files i.e,work space.
Staging area is virtual,we can’t see the staging area.

Step 5 :

Adding file to Staging Area

Add

We should add the file to staging area.
Send file from Workspace to Staging Area.

The staging area responsible to take snapshot of file.
Here,we can see the file is in green colour.
It means the staging area has taken the snapshot of file automatically.

Step 6 :

Commit the file into Local Repository

Commit

We need to commit the file then only the file will come from staging area to Local Repository.

Note
The file has been committed successfully.
we can see 1 file has changed (we have file) and 1 insertion(+)(kept one line inside the file).
Now,the file is in Local repository in the form of commit.

To see all the list of commits

Note
we can see commit id,it has 41 alphanumeric characters.
Commit will contains name,email,date,month,time and including year.
we can see the message which was you given.

Copy the below command and paste in mumbaigit.

When you add the central repository address will be stored in Local Repository.

Step 8 :

Push Commits to Central Repository
Origin represents central repository URL.
Master (pushing to master branch).
here -u is not mandatory.

Step 9 :

Verify files in Central Repository

Go inside your GitHub and hit refresh of your browser.

we can see file and commit message.

Go inside github and see the files/commits.

Here,we can see 2 commits and file which has latest commit message.

To check data of the file
We can see 2 lines in the file.
